Expressions in Alerting Email

Hi,
We have alerting set up and its working fine. I want to get some extra values on the email and I'm trying to use Expressions.
Under Alrtcatdef when editing the Long text for the email there is a button under the text box called "Insert Expression". I have gone into this and under Workflow System / XML / Function Method, there is an option "XPath gets string value". When I select this I get the following expression:
%_WFSYST.XML.XPATH_GET_STRINGS(XPATH=)%
I have tried putting the XPATH to the field I want to populate after the = but whenever an email is generated all I get on the email is:
%_WFSYST.XML.XPATH_GET_STRINGS(XPATH=/ZARM_EQUIPMENT_CREATE01/IDOC/EDI_DC40/DOCNUM)%
So this expression is just printing out and not displaying the value I want.
Has anyone used anything similar? Any ideas on what I need to do to get the Value of the DOCNUM field to display?
Thanks
Gareth

ok, maybe i misundertood your question.
do you expect a parser to process some kind of expressions in XML and get the values for you? if yes, well... doesn't look very possible.
what you can do is use Java extension functions in XSL to process expressions, but it is some kind of lousy.
why do you intend to achieve?
why don't you read the resource bundle values in Java and put them in your XML doc?

System monitoring - alert email notification

Hello Sapers,
I already set up system monitoring in our Solution Manager but i would like to receive mail if any alert occur. Unfortunatelly I did not find any way how to do it through Solution Manager. I guess there must be something like edit -> Automatic email transmission where I set up sending Earlywatch and SL reports to my mailbox, but how to set up alert email notification?
I also tried another way - setting up CEN (in our sollution manager) in RZ20, there i created monitor where i have desired alerts from all remote systems configured in SMSY (i have not used sapccm4x or any other ccms agent), also tried autoreaction method on local and it is working fine (SCOT is set up) but when i tried create and assign central autoreaction method (sapnote 429265) during assigning i receive error "no ccms agent avalable for system" and it is not working. Do I really need configure SAPCCM4X on all remote systems when i want to use central autoreaction? I dont feel very confortable with this solution. I think there must be some other smarter way (maybe in solution manager).
We also tried to connect our RZ20 monitor set to nagios (used in our company to monitor non sap servers and email notification), but we are not able to compile the ccms nagios plugin uder 64bit. AIX 5.3.
I also heard little bit about ALM (Alert management) but dont know anything about forwarding alerts from RZ20 to ALM and transmitting email from there. But I think this sollution would be the most difficult from all mentioned above.
Thank you very much for any help

Josef,
Somewhat chasing the point here - when you have the Solman and you look in your CCMS and you can see the other systems - it is all RFC data and not actually on the Solution Manager (the only local MTE's are those tha belong to the Solution Manager). For the Solution Manager to Centrally Auto-React to threasholds (act as the CEN System), the information needs to be passed to the Central System through the agents.
If you want to do email threasholds on your remote systems, you can configure it on each of the systems individually without agents as this is a CCMS Function that any SAP System can do - but this is not Central Auto-Reaction. This is just actions taken on individual systems based on local MTE's.
To Centrally Auto-React - you have to add the agents so the information is passed to the CEN to react on.
I hope that this has clarified the situation a bit more. If this answers your question, please set this thread to answered.

Hi AlpeshMargaret,
Where are the instructions for setting up the SMTP server in visual admin for the purpose of Alert Generation? I am not seeing this in the Configuration Guide. Could you point me to the correct documentation?

How can I change the order of list item properties in the alert email sent to the assigned-to owner?

Using SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
I have an Issue list configured to send an email to the assigned-to owner (List Settings | Advanced settings | E-Mail Notification = Enabled). I have since added columns to the Issue list. All of the data from my columns appear in the email alert but the
newest additions show up at the bottom of the list in the alert email instead of in the column order I have defined (List Settings | Issue Content Type | Column Order). However, if I click the "Mobile View" in the alert email I received, the Mobile
View does have the items listed in the column order.
Why are these different and how do I get the email alert to match my column order?

Actually the view which you recieve requires the column ordering to be the way you prefer. So whatever is your default view, change the column orders and then check the email alerts.

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I
have renamed the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and
restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template. All users who manually subscribed to the list
using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

Alerts emails - without an user ID in the XI system?

Hi,
The regular way to add a subscriber to an alert email is to add the user id in the fixed recipients and maintain the email id in SU01..
I have a scenario where emails have to sent to people who do not have a user ID in XI (The XI box has only a select list of ppl with access)... How can this be achieved??
Regards,
Arvind R

Create a Distribution List...assign the users to this DL....then for this DL create a user-id in XI/ PI.....then inlcude this user as recipient in ALRTCATDEF.

SharePoint Online custom alert emails

How can I change the alert email that SharePoint online (part of Office 365) send out. I've seen alot of reference to AlertTemplate.xml but that is if you have SP installed on a local server.
I would like to add the check in comments to the alert email.

Hi Scott,
The Alerttemplates.xml file is located at: Local_Drive\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\XML directory on On-Premise SharePoint local server, so we can customize the alert template file on local server with server
administration permission per this
article.
But in Office365 SharePoint Online, if you wan to customize the alert template you need to customize the Alerttemplates.xml under 14 folder on Online server, but it is not permitted, check this article
you also have seen.
You can also post this question related SharePoint Online in dedicated Office365 SharePoint Online forum, you can get a better assistance there,

Not receiving Alert emails in TFS Projects

Hi
When users in TFS are not receiving Alert emails for any of the notifications. I tried testing the email feature from TFS Admin console and its working fine (Received email)
We enabled the send email in GUI.. However when we try to verify in command prompt , it shows as disabled.

I was able to reproduce this with a desktop install of Team Foundation Server 2013, version 12.0.30723.0 (Tfs2013.Update3) and 12.0.31101.0 (Tfs2013.Update4).
The command-line help for tfsconfig configuremail says:
TfsConfig configureMail /Enabled:<true|false>
/FromEmailAddress:<email address>
/SmtpHost:<SMTP host name>
Changes the From: email address and the SMTP host used for Team Foundation
Notifications.
I was able to enable or disable email alerts from the command line by setting the Enabled parameter to true or false.
However when I ran the command without the parameter Enabled, it set the "Enable Email Alerts" checkbox to false, and then I got the message "Email alerts disabled."
Notice that this parameter is not mentioned in the
documentation.
This behavior seems to be a documentation bug or tool bug, depending on the perspective. It might be that the intended default behavior was to disable alerts if no parameter was passed. If so it needs to be documented.
However, the logical expectation would be for the command without parameters to just show its current Enabled, SMTP Server and Email From Address values. From this perspective this is a bug as it has an unintended and undocumented side effect. You might
want to report this at the
Microsoft Connect website.

is your user in the ALRTCATDEF defined as a fixed recipient?
Did you configure an alert rule in the runitme workbench?

Rich editor text get strikethrough in alert email in SharePoint

Hi,
The text under HTML editor gets strikethrough in the alert email of SharePoint.
I have created a Blog site and on the blog list some users have set to get alerts whenever any blog is updated.
In normal scenario, whenever any blog gets updated the previous message shows as strikethrough and the new entered text shows without any strike.
But in my case the users are get both sections (the previous as well as new) text as strikethrough. This should not be acceptable and can’t be an identical scenario.
This has happened only for the body section of those blogs, which is a Rich Text editor.
Can anyone let me know how to stop this scenario?

I'm getting this same thing. Would like to hear an answer if anyone has found one.

Link in alert email for PPTX document leads to "File Not Found" - Caused by encoding error

We have an issue brought to our attention by our customers that has me scratching my head. When our users sign up for an alert on a document library and a PowerPoint document is edited, the link in the alert email looks something like this:
http://Teams/sites/TeamABC/_layouts/PowerPoint.aspx?PowerPointView=ReadingView%26PresentationId=/sites/TeamABC/Shared%2520Documents/SharePoint%2520Service%2520Management.pptx
Although the issue looks like it could be with the double encoded spaces (first encoded is %20, second encoding is %2520), those work fine. The issue comes from the %26 between "ReadingView" and "PresentationId". The %26 is an encoded "&".
If I replace %26 with "&" the url string works fine. I have tried this in IE, Firefox, and Chrome and the result is the same in each, so it's not a browser issue.
The question then becomes, is the error the encoding when the alert is created and sent or is the error with the http handler in SharePoint that doesn't appear to understand how to handle %26? With that, any ideas on how to fix this (other than tell
users to edit the url in the browser changing %26 to "&")?
I should mention we are using SharePoint 2010, SP1, plus August 2011 CU, with Office Web Apps.

Hello,
I think it is because we cannot use "&" in the file name when uploading the file to Sharepoint, we will receive the
message:
The following characters cannot be used anywhere in a site name, in a subsite name, or in a site or Active Directory group name:
tilde (~)
number sign (#)
percent (%)
ampersand (&)
asterisk (*)
braces ({ })
backslash (\)
colon (:)
angle brackets (< >)
question mark (?)
slash (/)
plus sign (+)
pipe (|)
quotation mark (")

JDBC PL/SQL exception not shown in System Alert email

Hi expert,
The PL/SQL exception caught in the communication channeli do not show up in the alert emails. What could be the reason behind it?
We configured the SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRLINES to capture the error message in alert category and configured the alert rule accordingly also. The system alert mail is show as below:
If that is the PL/SQL error(Adapter Framework exception: null):
Adapter type: JDBC
Error text from the Adapter Engine:
If that is the exception captured in Adapter Framework, not PL/SQL error:
Adapter type: JDBC
Error text from the Adapter Engine: Error when attempting to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib. util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled res ource: DriverManagerException: Can not establish connection:: SQLExcep tion: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2: No such file or direc tory
Is that because the system alert only can print out the detail error message captured in Adapter Framework? Is there any way to capture all of the possible errors in adapter engine?

Hi Ruby,
Please use the container variable "SXMS_TO_ADAPTER_ERRTXT" in your alert category configuration to get the error text from Adapter Engine.
The details of the container variable can be found at this link:

Alert emails to a non standard SMTP port

Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send its alert emails to an SMTP server on a non standard port? In the AdminUI there is a field for the server but not for the port.
Thanks,

Hi Jon
Sorry, I thought we were talking about Task Notifications not Administrator Notifications.
Changing the port in the Email Notifications process will work for Task Notifications.
Administrator Notifications use the Java mail default, which is port 25 unless otherwise specified on your system.
Are you using the JBoss Turnkey?
if so, you can try this:
1. Navigate to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy
2. Locate the properties-service.xml file.
3. uncomment the following block and set the property as follows:
    
    <attribute name="Properties">
          smtp.mail.port =<your port #>
    </attribute>
4. You don't need to restart JBoss.
The only downside is that this is now the smtp port for that server and any other apps on that server.
If you can live with that, it's an easy workaround.
